I chose to keep it pretty simple this time, but sometimes simple is good. I really like this set of stamps from Tim, so I don't like to cover it up much. And, I made two versions, see what you think. Minor differences, mainly the ribbon at the top of the tag and I added a fiber around the small tag.
The colors I used for the background are Spiced Marmalade and Broken China. I scammed this combo from Craftytrog, who used this on a card, and I thought it was just a great combo. Then I dropped some water droplets on it, and blotted with a paper towel. A little bit of Walnut Stain around the edges before stamping the images with black Archival.
My second "tag", of course, is the little round metal edged tag with "make art" stamped on it. That's a Catslife Press stamp. The ribbon slide is Maya Road.
See...simple.
Thanks for stopping by today, and don't forget about the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge, there's still time to enter!
20 watcha thinkin'?:
Beautiful tag Lori, sometimes simple is all it takes. You're right that colour combo is great.
I do like that color combo. It really highlights the black stamping.
Yup, these colours are great together - and the stamps you chose are divine.... would you believe I don't have that set (yet...)
Think I prefer the blue ribbon but without the fibre round the 2nd tag - which means version 3 then!!! LoL
have a great weekend.
Great colour combination, simple but very effective, love the images. Tracy Evans x
Love these tags, more the first one though with the red ribbon :)
Love the scene you created. It´s very beautiful and the background is amazing.
Hi Lori! I Love your tag! I love that set of stamps as well. The colors you chose are so pretty for the background...and I totally agree with you that sometimes less is more when you've got such beautiful stamped images. Love the way you wrapped the ribbon around the bottom and added the silver metal slide. Very pretty!
Great color combo! Go with the first one - really like how the red pops the orange-ish coloration.
Terrific colours and such a fab tag Lori. Have a great weekend my friend. Annette x
Beautiful tag Lori! And, you're right, simple is simple (and the best!).
